The primary purpose of the REAL Reading packages is to enable students to recognise and apply the reading skills of prediction, skimming, scanning, searching and demonstrating understanding to a range of text types likely to be encountered during the second or third year of a first degree at an English-speaking university. Nine texts are provided in each package, and each text is designed to occupy a higher intermediate level student for approximately two hours.
The secondary purpose is to encourage students to assess their own work and, as a result, to become more independent language learners. Where responses, rather than suggestions, are required from the students, answers are provided with which students are required to compare and evaluate their own input.
Students who work carefully through the texts will extend their vocabulary, increase their awareness of different registers and gain insights into the style of writing required for academic purposes.

Tense Buster focuses on helping students improve their understanding of 29 key grammar areas ranging from Some/any at Elementary level to Phrasal verbs at Advanced level.
Each unit begins with a presentation of a grammar topic based on a dialogue, a newspaper article, a radio broadcast or an extract from a story. In this introductory phase, learners are encouraged to form theories about how the grammar works. Next come concept checking questions focusing on key areas of difficulty, and a grammar rule which enables learners to confirm or correct their theories. Students move on to practice and testing activities in which the language is contextualised and key aspects of form and function are highlighted. They might, for example, find and correct errors in a text about McDonald's or examine the use of modals in an authentic report about a robbery in Nigeria. Finally, each unit includes a vocabulary session and ends by suggesting extension activities.
